Automated reference checking that gets honest feedback faster. Digital questionnaires, fraud detection, and detailed reports — all in one platform.
Overview
Traditional reference checking is slow, inconsistent, and vulnerable to fraud. Phone-based checks take days of phone tag, produce inconsistent notes, and give candidates time to coach their referees.
Refchecks automates the entire process. Referees receive a secure digital questionnaire via email or SMS, complete it on their own time, and you get a standardised report with built-in fraud detection — all within 24 hours on average.
Every reference is cross-checked against our growing database of previous verifications. If a candidate's claimed employment history doesn't match what referees have previously reported, you'll know immediately.
